How does Poxet 60 mg work?
Poxet 60 mg is a short-acting, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor that increases the time of ejaculation by blocking the reabsorption of serotonin into neurons. This helps to make serotonin available to the brain. Due to low levels of serotonin, a person loses his control over ejaculation and ejaculates sooner than expected. The presence of the ingredient Dapoxetine Hydrochloride makes the nerve cells communicate properly, thereby prolonging the time of ejaculation. It gets rapidly eliminated in the body, and therefore, the results of this medicine can be experienced within the first two hours.
